It's Not Always What It Seems

OUR MOMENTS TOGETHER


Oh, what a most, beautiful and fun night we had at Tempura.
The circle almost got full, but the people there were some of the best people you could
join for a night of meaningful conversation. We had Alec Modan, his first night in Second Life
after being away for 9 years, Welcome Alec!
We also had Drake Knyght (drakeknyght) nice and friendly, brai (braizan) a ray of sunshine
and we had so many other beautiful people join us in what I used to call "The Circle Of Love"
better known, as the tai chi circle in Tempura Island.
Our conversation mainly focused on the sad state of our world. All the violence and all those sad
things that are happening on our planet as we speak. So we talked about how violence should stop,
to be more respectful and kind to others, etc.
However, things are not always as they seem, or as they are being preached.
While in local chat I am praising my Steppenwolf and being sweet to him, behind closed doors, or
better said, in private chat is a totally different story. :P


brai (braizan): hear is usually pretty good especially when men don't constantly hit on u lol
brai (braizan): XD it true sometimes
Lori Novo: I once had a man IM me here offering me Lindens for sex
Steppenwolf (steppen.crescendo): what???
Drake Knyght (drakeknyght): wow
Lori Novo: he offered me I think 25L
Alec Modan: wow
brai (braizan): eish it not right some ppl only here for just sex
brai (braizan): have to fully know and care for someone and it HAS to be magic and special
Lori Novo: yes
Lori Novo: I been with Steppenwolf for 13 years
brai (braizan): yeps that how it should be
Lori Novo: we met here in Tai Chi
Steppenwolf (steppen.crescendo): Yes i fell in love with Lori here doing Taichi with her
Lori Novo: :))))
Lori Novo: you know my Steppenwolf is so sweet and wonderful and respectful and amazing and
loving and caring and... [Ok, I really didn't say all that but was thinking about it. :P]

And while all that is being said in local chat, my private chat with Steppenwolf was very different... :P


Steppenwolf (steppen.crescendo): what  who was that ?
Steppenwolf (steppen.crescendo): 25 L
Steppenwolf (steppen.crescendo): I never heard that
Lori Novo: omg baby, I've told u about it several times
Lori Novo: and even showed you the blog post
Steppenwolf (steppen.crescendo): you did?  was that ?????
Lori Novo: omg babyyyy nooo
Lori Novo: you really forget things
Lori Novo: it was almost when I started SL remember?
Steppenwolf (steppen.crescendo): of course i forget bad things
Lori Novo: gonna kick you :P
Steppenwolf (steppen.crescendo): laffs

LOL :P

Lori Novo: lol baby
Steppenwolf (steppen.crescendo): you kickin me in private and praising me in public   lmao
Lori Novo: lol yup we so sweet to each other on local, and here I am kicking you lol
Lori Novo: hahaha
Steppenwolf (steppen.crescendo): mmmhmm
Steppenwolf (steppen.crescendo): silly thang
Lori Novo: i can't stop laughing
Lori Novo: loool
Lori Novo: muahhhh
Steppenwolf (steppen.crescendo): te amo baby

Peace and love always my beautiful people, even when you have to repeat the same story one hundred times
because your partner keeps forgetting it. :P

Happy New Year!


Good morning beautiful world and a happy new year to everyone!
I am ready, eager, and excited to continue my beautiful Second Life journey and share it with you.
I am not making any promises for now but one thing that I am sure of is that I missed blogging
for you my beautiful people. I missed venturing out and exploring with Sunny beautiful locations.
How about featuring all those wonderful people I am honored to meet when I go out?
Or sharing with you my moments with my Steppenwolf? I missed it all!

As you all know, while I stayed away for a while from my blog I started a backdrop textures
business to keep me busy. The idea was originally intended to be something small in the
Marketplace, just for fun you know, but now I find myself with an in-world shop, which I just opened
today, and a group of wonderful bloggers that I feel very honored to have.

So to celebrate the new year and the grand opening of my in-world shop 
I have prepared a few things for you. ;)


First, I put together a small hunt with 10 beautiful backdrop textures to collect for free.
You are looking for the beautiful butterfly below, which I chose to honor my mother's
memory. My mother loved butterflies and her favorite color was purple, which is something
that she told me in a dream after she had passed away.


The hunt will run from January 1st to January 15th.
After that, all the packs will be sold at the regular price like all the others. You can find the hints to their
locations here. But then again, they are not that hard to find and you can also cheat... let me tell you
how. First you... never mind, where's the fun in that! :P
Next, I have placed 3 Lucky Letter Boards with the letters changing every 15 minutes.
And finally, I placed 2 new free gifts on the counter together with the Christmas one which
everyone loved, YAY!


So there you have it, the grand opening of my in-world shop and my return to blogging again,
2025 will be a great year, I just know it. I really love my life.
Over & Out!

You Are My Soul


“You are the essence—
of who I am, what I do,
I cannot live without you.

You are my soul;
how can I separate you—
from my heart?

I am a fish, you are the vast ocean, you must not leave me at shore,
I cannot live without you.”
― Rafy Rohaan

And I Love You More

For my Steppenwolf. Te amo baby! <3


“When I say I love you more, I don’t mean I love you more than you love me.
I mean I love you more than the bad days ahead of us,
I love you more than any fight we will ever have.
I love you more than the distance between us,
I love you more than any obstacle that could try and come between us.
I love you the most.”
– Unknown




Beautiful background texture by me is available here.

I Still Cry


“You are imperfect, permanently and inevitably flawed. And you are beautiful.”

"People say I look happy
Just because I got skinny
But the old me is still me and maybe the real me
And I think she's pretty..."

Beautiful People Do Not Just Happen


“The most beautiful people we have known are those who have known defeat,
known suffering, known struggle, known loss, and have found their way out of the depths.
These persons have an appreciation, a sensitivity, and an understanding of life
that fills them with compassion, gentleness, and a deep loving concern. 
Beautiful people do not just happen.”
― Elisabeth Kübler-Ross

The following is a great YouTube video that I would love to share with you.
Hope you enjoy!

Enjoy The Journey


“I have come to accept the feeling of not knowing where I am going.
And I have trained myself to love it.
Because it is only when we are suspended in mid-air with no landing in sight,
that we force our wings to unravel and alas begin our flight.
And as we fly, we still may not know where we are going to.
But the miracle is in the unfolding of the wings.
You may not know where you're going,
but you know that so long as you spread your wings,
the winds will carry you.”
― C. JoyBell C.

A Blessing


“A Blessing; 
May the light of your soul guide you;
May the light of your soul bless the work you do with the secret love and warmth of your heart;
May you see in what you do the beauty of your own soul;
May the sacredness of your work bring healing, light and renewal to those who work with you
and to those who see and receive your work;
May your work never weary you; 
May it release within you wellsprings of refreshment, inspiration and excitement;
May you be present in what you do. May you never become lost in the bland absences;
May the day never burden; May dawn find you awake and alert,
approaching your new day with dreams, possibilities and promises; 
May evening find you gracious and fulfilled;
May you go into the night blessed, sheltered and protected;
May your soul calm, console and renew you.”
― John O'Donohue
